About this work
A figurine that appears to be a caricatured representation of a sumo wrestler. The figurine has a distinct, exaggerated face with red facial markings and a stern expression. It is dressed in traditional sumo attire, which includes a black belt around its waist. The figurine is standing upright and has a robust, muscular build.Born into the greyness of England at the end of the Seventies, by the age of four Jon-Paul Kaiser knew that what he wanted to do in life was a draw. From that point he rarely strayed from that path; scribbling and doodling his way through School, College and University. After working with Porlzilla, Jon-Paul decided to go it alone concentrating at first on the toy customization scene, building up a name and strong reputation for himself with his stark Black & White custom style, influenced by comic book art, film noir & Ukiyo-e prints. This lead to him being approached by established toy producers for designs for their platform toys. Principally amongst these are Toy2R who have released numerous JPK Platforms.
